Dr. Joel Wallach addressed the human body's ability to achieve natural healing, along with the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from chronic conditions. On the topic of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), he said such deaths were dramatically reduced nationwide when a certain mineral (selenium) was added to baby formulas. Wallach noted that he and the lawyer Jonathan Emord petitioned to have minerals added to infant formula in order to save lives. To help protect the prostate area from cancer, he suggested supplements that support the immune system, such as MSM and collagen peptides.

EFAs (essential fatty acids) also support the immune system, and are found in nuts like almonds. In response to a call from a trucker, Doc Wallach talked about using hair analysis to reveal what toxicities a person might have. People in the trucking industry, as well as farmers, and factory workers may have more exposure to toxins and heavy metals and should be tested once a year, he advised. Wallach connected nutritional deficiencies with the problem of obesity, as when the body doesn't get the nutrients it needs, it can accentuate hunger.
